Summer Mountain Retreat for the family!

A rare home in this market! Ridgerunner Cabin is nestled beside the Carson National Forest in the Village of Taos Ski Valley. We offer incredible views, a few steps to fly fishing the Rio Hondo, and spacious accommodations that sleeps 10. The property includes an authentic log cabin with an expansive upstairs loft that has been updated to provide comfort, a separate structure that holds a game room, and mountainside privacy.

This is a wonderful place for families to be able to enjoy a home away from home. Whether your intention is for work, school, play, or all of the above, this is the perfect place to relax, let go of today's many stresses, take some fresh breaths out in nature, and enjoy the seasons. You can also feel comfortable knowing that we do have high speed internet available. Rest assured that even while traveling, classes and work can still continue!

After (or even during!) a day in the office or exploring the area, take a dip in the hottub and enjoy the views! Our hot tub is in a wonderful location just steps away from our secluded back porch. From there you are offered some of the most majestic views on earth of the mountains and stars. You will have access to an outdoor firepit as well.

The first floor of the main cabin boasts an open concept kitchen, dining, and living room area, complete with picture windows to take in the gorgeous views of the mountains. The downstairs bathroom also includes a washer and dryer for your convenience. Spread out and lounge in the cozy living room while enjoying a movie on your Direct TV satellite service! There is also a wood-burning stove for those who enjoy a cozy, rustic atmosphere (worry not -- the home has central heat!). During the summer, the Cabin remains cool due to a combination of an altitude of 9200 feet and the river nearby.

Upstairs you will find a spacious loft that accommodates two queen beds, two twin daybeds, a sitting table, and second bathroom. Expansive windows also allow you to take in the scenery while relaxing. The kids can take over the loft and play a round of scrabble while you unwind downstairs!

The detached gameroom holds two twin beds, a fold out futon, a foosball table and dartboard! If not for use as an extended kids room or game room, it can also serve as a private music room or writer's shack:) there is no bathroom in this detached, separate structure! This home is available for your ski vacation or mountain getaway, and long-term guests are also welcomed at affordable rates.

Venturing out into the world of this all-season mountain resort is also a pleasure from the cabin. We are located about a half mile from the ski resort at Taos Ski Valley. At the entrance to the resort, you have easy access to a full array of shops and restaurants. Enjoy fine dining at the Bavarian, St. Bernard or Edelweiss or, sink your teeth into to the famous burgers and green chile stew at the Stray Dog. Taos is known for world class skiing, hiking, fishing, horseback riding, mountain biking and snowshoeing.

As we all know, these are unprecedented times. As such, we are doing our best to ensure that our guests have the best possible experience while staying at Ridgerunner Cabin. We want to emphasize how the Cabin can be a self-contained experience that allows for our guests to experience the wonders of nature while still having the comforts of home. There are hiking trails within the valley for your family to enjoy, as well as snowshoeing possibilities in the immediate vicinity of the cabin.

Please let us know if you are planning on bringing your pet (dogs only unless approved by the owner). It is an additional $35/night, with a limit of 2 dogs. For more than 2 dogs there will be an extra charge of $5/night per dog.
